“Mauritania Must Become A Priority for the Atlantic Alliance” - Gustavo De Arístegui

 Gustavo de Arístegui comes from a long-standing diplomatic background, his father and grandfather were both senior diplomats posted as ambassadors in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. Mr Arístegui next to his native Spanish speaks English, French and German, and is interested in all the international issues that are related in any way to Spain, international security and strategic issues, terrorism, European affairs, Islam and the Arab–Israeli conflict. His English is impeccable as becoming of a scion of a diplomat family.

According to Gustavo deArístegui there is a concern about destabilization in Mauritania, where he has visited a month ago, the terrorist threat, but also about immigration and above all about the actions of Wagner's Russian mercenaries. He says that in a country with access to the Atlantic, with a key geostrategic position it is something to be taken care of by NATO.

Mr. Arístegui is of the opinion that it is one of the buffer countries, it is a very large country, very sparsely populated and difficult to control. He also acknowledges that there is a very serious chance that the destabilization caused by drug, human, arms and terrorist traffickers will end up affecting Mauritania in a destabilizing way. Therefore, Mauritania must become a priority for the Atlantic Alliance like a good part of the North Atlantic coast become like Morocco, and Gustavo dares to say the most strategic concept of the European Union.

Gustavo also considers that in the reunion between Spain and the United States, the Royal Family has played a very important role, the paper has played the role that it was entitled to. According to the diplomat, Joe Biden's decision is clear and at the moment of truth, the American ally is Spain. In Gustavo de Arístegui’s own words, “How essential it is between the two main political parties of the Government to create a serious State policy, security policy and foreign policy so that our partners abroad see that whoever is there is reliable, whoever is in charge of the Government of Spain”.

Gustavo de Arístegui also asserts that, “One of those guarantees of the visibility of this survival and persistence of a serious policy in which we are part as members of the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance is His Majesty the King. Felipe VI, like his father before him, is one of the basic pillars of Spain's image in the world. The King of Spain is a fundamental element in diplomacy and as the great ambassador of Spain, he is the best and the most important”.
